About Jody

Jody Lumley helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addiction. She also supports those dealing with LGBT issues, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, bipolar disorder and ADHD. Jody is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and has nine years of experience.

Jody uses a person-centred way of working that aims to make people feel heard and understood. She blends other approaches as needed to match each person’s situation.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and practical steps to get there. In the room she aims to create a calm space for people to talk through painful memories and everyday pressures. That may include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, learning ways to manage intense feelings, and practising mindfulness skills to reduce stress.

The sessions often move at the client’s pace and follow what matters most to them. Her background includes supporting people affected by work-related trauma, childhood trauma, self-harm, domestic violence and complex post-traumatic stress. She has experience with people who identify as neurodivergent and with caregivers facing prolonged stress.

Jody encourages small, steady steps rather than sudden change. She works alongside people to build coping skills, improve communication and reclaim a sense of control after difficult events. The emphasis is on practical, realistic changes that fit everyday life.

Online support

Jody commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with low self-esteem, relationship issues and general life stress. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and it is done together. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative approach means techniques can be blended or changed as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, short tasks between sessions or people who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving and daily life.
